A Look Inside the Matchup

The Cardinals split the season series 1-1 with the Wildcats, dropping the first contest 56-52 and winning the second contest 46-43. Tori DePerry produced a double-double for both contests and lead the scoring overall. Kaitlyn Zarycki added 10 and 14 points respectively to each contest coming off a mid-season injury. In the second game of the series, SVSU was able to hold all scorers except one under double digits.

The two squads have a one-point scoring differential in favor of the 'Cats in the regular-season-series. The Cardinals look to capitalize on late season, outstanding, play from freshman guard Emma Dziezgowski and veteran producers such as Zarycki, DePerry, and Tyler Scheid.
